I love the patterns in the brickwork on this picture, particularly where it looks as if a window has been taken out and bricked up.

Rachel Green said...

Thanks Neil. I think there's something special about old brick walls.

BT said...

I agree with neil. There used to be a tax on windows so lots of them were bricked up at one time and people often didn't bother to open them up again.

Rachel Green said...

Very true, but that was 1696-1842 and I doubt the building is quire that old!
More likely it was bricked up during the last war.

They all look so well behaved!

Rachel Green said...

To be fair, they are tied to a bolt in the wall!

I hadn't though of that Rachel, that's most likely the case then.
